Agilent Technologies 6890 Series User Manual

Flow and Pressure Control Part 1. Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC)
Enter a flow or pressure program (optional)
58
2. Scroll to Init Pres (or Init flow). Type the desired value and press
[Enter].
3. Similarly, enter a value for Init time. This completes the initial (constant
pressure) part of the program.
4. To begin a ramp, enter a positive value for Rate 1. It does not matter
whether you are programming up or down—the rate is always positive.
5. If Rate 1 is zero, the program ends here. If you enter any other value, the
Final value lines for the first ramp appear and the cursor moves to the line.
6. Enter values for Final pres 1 (or Final flow 1) and Final
time 1. This completes the first ramp.
7. To enter a second (or third) ramp, scroll to the appropriate Rate line and
repeat steps 5 and 6.
